Deputy fired, arrested following FOX 5 I-Team Investigation

Agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested and charged a Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputy Thursday, days after a FOX 5 I-Team investigation revealed a secret recording of him trying to blackmail a suspect into having sex.

Agents charged Deputy Bill Miller with violation of oath of a public officer, which is a felony.

The arrest came after the Sheriff’s Office fired Miller following an internal investigation.

The probe started after the FOX 5 I-Team approached the department with their findings August 24.

FOX I-Team Reporter Randy Travis who broke the story about the investigation reports Miller still faces a federal investigation and the likely end of his law enforcement career.

The case stems from graphic comments secretly recorded on August 14th by Ashlie Roberts.

In July, Miller arrested the 34-year-old Union City woman for suspected drunk driving and possession of meth.

She made bond and a few weeks later and said she got a call from Miller to meet her in a parking lot late at night.

Roberts told internal affairs investigators the same story she told the FOX 5 I-Team: Miller put her in his personal Dodge Ram pickup, handed her a Coors Light, and drove them to a dirt trail off Freeman Road.

"I didn't think I had to record anything until I got to that dirt road," she explained. "After I turned on that dirt road, that's when I knew something was fishy."

Monroe County Interim Sheriff Al Shackelford placed Miller on paid administrative leave on August 24 and called in the GBI and FBI to investigate.

"We are shocked and disappointed," Sheriff Shackelford said at the time. "Law enforcement should be held to a higher standard."

Miller joined the department in April and he's been a Georgia law enforcement officer since 2014.

"We are shocked and disappointed," Sheriff Shackelford said at the time. "Law enforcement should be held to a higher standard."

Stop. Sheriff, you're killing me.

Baptiste said.At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

No offense to the lady in the video but the cop looks good and you would think that he has a higher standard than straggly tooth meth addicts. I am disappointed on so many levels for this man.

Let's not get crazy here.

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

I dunno about that, no teeth could be a sign of the severity of the addiction. Regardless, why would anyone wanna mess with someone with a history of IV drug use without STD testing? That is just mental.
